The E-RPG Fantasy Sagas Player Character Sheets are an expanded collection of record keeping forms for use with the E-RPG system. There are 8 sheets in all. The free demo, available to Ironwood Nexus Community Members, gives you all the character sheets in a printable PDF file. However, the full version, available at RPGNow and Drive Thru RPG, has no watermarks and comes complete with interactive form fields for every entery on every sheet.

Not too far back I stumbled on a great site for local Orlando gaming news and events at OrlandoGaming.org. The site is frequently updated with news on anything gaming related in the Central Florida area. As well as RPG’s, Orlando Gaming includes news on board games, miniature war gaming, and local store links and events.

I was privleged enough to get a request for a spotlight on their site which is a short six question interview. You may be thinking that a mere six questions shouldn’t cover a whole lot. However, Pat, the site administrator, knows how to pick his questions. The questions he posed to me brought out much more information than I though a six question spotlight could do. It was an interesting test for myself, as the questions were very in-depth and surprisingly personal on the development of Sagas, where it came from, where its going, and what we are about in the here and now.

You can read up here. And for those of you interested in local Orlando gaming you can check out the latest at their portal here.

ORLANDO, FL—April 10, 2007— Ironwood Omnimedia Company (IOC) is proud to announce the full release of the Fantasy E-RPG System; Fantasy Sagas: Player’s Guidebook and The Game Master’s Lodestar.

The Fantasy Sagas Paradigm is a collection of 50 pre-created character archetypes designed for the E-RPG Fantasy Sagas game. Each character is fully developed and ready for play complete with all the character record sheets, equipment, skills, spells and power lists you need to get started quickly. Players and Game Masters can enjoy these characters as designed or use them as templates for creating new characters and NPC’s. New players will find it easy to jump into any game quickly while experienced players will find the new concepts a helpful guide to designing and modifying a diverse range of new characters. Game Masters can enjoy a thorough list of useful NPC’s ready for play at a moment’s notice.

We just finished another round of updates to both the Fantasy Sagas Player’s Guidebook and the Game Master Lodestar.

There was a small list of minor textual changes. However, the biggest changes involved the PDF formats. We updated and enhanced the book marking and added cross-references throughout the books. Basically this means that wherever you see a page reference you can click the text to instantly be jumped to that page.

These changes were made simply to update the content to make it more user friendly. So, if you haven’t updated in the past week or so do so now! If you purchased the printable PDF’s you will have to update through your lulu.com file management pages. You can get the updated free versions by clicking here.

Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions on ways to improve the books. We take all suggestions very seriously (as can be seen in the new updates). If you have any suggestions please send us a line either on our forums or via email.
